The Symposium meets in Cape Town.

Each term The Symposium meets at an eatery in Cape Town, around good food and wine with a talk by an OD.

This society was started by Brian Robertson (1979W) and Paul Murray.  The idea is for ODs to meet around some good fare and conversation.  

We met on Wednesday 23 July 2025 at Pizza Connection in Roodeebloem Rd Woodstock.

The topic was presented by Viljoen van Heerden, on the scarcity of wate in the world.  This was followed by some discussion.

Anyone interested in joining can contact the Secretary Viljoen van Heerden (2011M) viljoenvh@gmail.com
